| The new settlement Eviatar |
A new settlement carrying the name of murdered Israeli Eviatar Borovsky, was launched last week.
The new settlement has been created in the Samaria neighborhood of the West Bank, in memory of Eviatar Borovsky, a Jewish father of five killed by a Palestinian terrorist.
The head of the Samaria Regional Council, Gershon Mesika, on Thursday moved his office to a tent on a hill overlooking the Tapuach Junction where Borovsky, 31, of Yitzhar, was killed Tuesday morning, as he was waiting for a bus. The Palestinian stabber, now in Israeli custody, also took Borovsky’s gun and started shooting at Border Guard officers.
A wooden structure was built on the site and portable toilets were brought to the top of the hill. A large sign in Hebrew reads Eviatar.
“It is quite disturbing that the only time a new settlement is launched is after a Jewish man, woman, or child is murdered. The settlers should be supported, and the Israeli government should help the settlers build new settlements on a regular basis. After all, the land belongs to the Jews,” Gilda Talley, 30, of Baltimore, Maryland told YourJewishNews.com after learning about the brand new settlement of Eviatar.
Mesika vowed to work daily at the new outpost and make sure there is a constant presence at the site until families can move in.
Electric and a water source were also connected to the temporary structures.
